Cheat Device Black Screen freeze When Trying To Use Another game cheat #26

Hi Wesley,

Great work on this project and love the Cheat Device, so simple and smooth. Had so many issues with CodeBreaker until i heard of your program.

I do however have an issue with my Cheat device, i have tested it both running on USB and Memory Card of the PS2.

My issue is when i open cheat device , select the cheat then press start to go and select game the first time it opens OPL or ULaunchElf without any issues... I play the game by choosing it from OPL and it starts and cheats work .. the issue is when i close OPL and go to cheat device again to open it and use another cheat for another game as soon as i get to the Boot Path section on Cheat Device and press X on say OPL boot path or BOOT.ELF Cheat device freezes on a black screen.

I am trying to understand why this is happening, only way to fix it is if physically restart my PS2 then go into Cheat Device again and choose the cheats and then press start on PS2 controller to go to boot path screen and select OPL or BOOT.ELF that it works again.

But if i then close Cheat device again and try it again for another game without hard resetting PS2 it wont work and again i get the black freeze screen as soon as i get to the Boot Path screen on Cheat Device and its when i press X on any of the boot path selections that it freezes with black screen.

Is it because i have to hard reset the PS2 every time i use a cheat on a game ? or is this another issue?

It only happens when i want to go use Cheat Device for a 2nd time on another game that it gets the black freeze screen when selecting the Boot path in Cheat Device.

I dont think its the OPL because i tried to select BOOT.ELF which is my UlaunchElf and or ROM Boot path on cheat device which is at end of the list. It happened on all of them, It only happens when i want to chose a cheat for another game and not hard resetting the PS2. So first time it works but the 2nd time to chose cheat for another game it just freezes black screen after i select the boot path on cheat device.

I am using Cheat Device with games that are on my Installed internal HDD, not using it with Game CD.

Please help.

Thank you and keep up the great work.
